These are the ramblings of a self-described wheat, grain and gluten-free “gourmet girl” that loves to cook and eat good food. I love creating and sharing recipes and photographing “beautiful food”. In July 2012, I eliminated wheat, grains and added sugar from my diet and rediscovered real, whole fresh foods again and effortlessly lost 65+ pounds. Join me in my wheat, grain and gluten-free journey. See how easy it is to enjoy grain free gourmet, one meal at a time! Welcome to my blog. Enjoy!

Boneless Beef Short Ribs - Slow Cooker Style

This evening we had Slow Cooker Boneless Beef Short Ribs for dinner. I made Roasted Cheddar Cauliflower as a side dish and served my Southern Style Buttermilk Biscuits with the meal. It turned out delicious. I put the short ribs in my crock pot this morning before work and the biscuits were already made so the only thing I had to put together after work was the cauliflower dish. It was extremely easy. I cut up a large head of fresh cauliflower into florets and tossed them with a few tablespoons of olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet and roasted in a 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes, stirring several times. Once it was done and toasty brown, I transferred it to a shallow baking dish and scattered about 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top and ran it under the broiler for a few minutes to melt. Unfortunately, hubby couldn't eat the cauliflower because he's been down with a 24-hr tummy bug that's been going around. He did eat the beef and biscuits though. It was a simple and delicious meal and perfect for this frigid weather we've had here recently. There were snow flurries as I drove home from work so this meal was great to come home to. I snapped a few photos of our meal below. The recipe for my slow cooked beef short ribs can be found by clicking this link: Slow Cooker Boneless Beef Short Ribs. Enjoy!

Thanks! I did enjoy tonight's meal. It's been so cold here this week and my appetite is finally almost normal and food tastes good again. I do feel better today...partly because I actually slept for 7 hours last night without coughing for the first time in 5 weeks. So far, so good with this rounds of meds.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you keep fighting the crud off...the one going around here is very hard to shake off this winter. Take care of yourself! :-)

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my blog! I look forward to sharing my love of food, cooking and photography with you as well as some of my favorite recipes and food finds. Cooking is a passion and I love experimenting in the kitchen. I rarely follow a recipe exactly and usually feel the need to add a "tweak or two" to make it my own. I hope you get an idea or two while you are here. Cooking doesn't have to be complicated and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to be a good cook. There are so many ways to make a quick and delicious meal without having to run through the drive-thru. You can "have it your way" every day AT HOME! Enjoy!

*Note: Effective July 10, 2012, all recipes (except for an occasional one made for others) are completely grain free, wheat free, gluten free with no added sugar and can be found below in the list of recipes under "Wheat/Grain/Gluten Free Recipes". Enjoy!
